House Speaker Mike Johnson Endorses Donald Trump for the 2024 Republican Election

On November 14, 2023, Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson officially endorsed Donald Trump’s presidential campaign for the 2024 presidential cycle. “I’m all in for President Trump,” Johnson declared during an interview on CNBC

In endorsing Trump, Johnson became the highest-ranking Republican elected official in the DC Swamp to support the former president. California Congressman Kevin McCarthy still hasn’t officially endorsed Trump for the 2024 GOP nomination, while Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has remained neutral thus far in this election cycle.

Curiously, the new House Speaker made a Facebook 2015 Facebook post  where he declared that Trump “lacks the character and moral center that we desperately need again in the White House,” according to a report by the New York Times. That said, the post couldn’t immediately be verified and has apparently been deleted from Johnson’s Facebook page. 

On November 14, Johnson declared that questions about Trump’s character should not overshadow his track record on the economy and national security. “I think when we’re voting for president, it can’t be about personalities,” Johnson said to CNBC. “There are a lot of people in Washington who say things that are not accurate all the time. Everybody does.”

The House speaker suggested on November 14 that the legal cases being launched against Trump constitute a political conspiracy hatched by district attorneys, the FBI, and the Justice Department. “Every time a new indictment drops, it follows after some favorable thing that he gets in the poll,” Johnson said with respect to Trump. 

Johnson knows where the political winds are blowing. The Republican Party is now Donald Trump’s party. No amount of neoconservative/establishment hand-wringing will change that. It’s best that other elected officials start getting with the program and stop their futile endeavor to derail Trump’s nomination in 2024. 

The days of Conservatism Inc. completely dominating Republican politics are over.
